I see in the list of programable parameters (see last post) that there are cars with ACC and Parking heaters, and cars with ACC and electric water pumps or parking heaters. Does anyone have any info on these features, and if they are included in any US spec cars or option packages? I have just such a parking heater arrangement in my '84 MB SL (small electric pump circulates coolant to ACC after parking so you can sit and be warm until the radiator/engine cool too far - or battery fails ??). I haven't seen reference to this in any Volvo material before. Apparently, if you have it, you can program how you want it to circulate air.

I've never heard of anyone having this in the US. It is quite an arrangement - it has its own fuel supply from the tank, and it interacts with the car's computer. If it decreases the fuel to a certain point, it will shut off just so it doesn't leave you stranded, etc. With the absence of remote start now (I'm selling my 850) it would be nice to have something like this, though it would be prohibitively expensive, I bet.
